My Rover P5B Coupe must go :(
 

Oh well,
Its time to say goodbye to my old (1968) P5B Rover Coupe....

I bought it for myself as a late 18th birthday present..... I'm 52 today...

She needs quite a lot of attention and TLC, but is an extremely interesting (standard looking) vehicle, as she has a quite carefully & well modified engine, though as it has been standing a while, would obviously require attention.

I'm keeping her at my parent's place in the Essex area ....

So if anybody here is interested, by all means feel to PM me and we'll take it from there....

Many thanks,

Richard...

Oh man, that's gotta hurt!

Good luck with the sale, though - they're lovely old things...

Coincidentally I sold my 68 coupe not that long ago. Good luck with the sale.
I assume you have listed it on the Owners Club site. Mine sold before the advert went up through word of mouth.

It does hurt ....

But she deserves to go to someone who can give the (very quick, as its not much slower to the ton than my '8') old girl the love and attention she needs and deserves to be on the road for another 46 years....

Since my injury, I am no longer capable of doing the necessary work, or affording it under my recent changes in circumstance...

Wow! That must be hard to let go of - they are really beautiful, classy cars, one of my favourite British cars. I'm sure there will be lots of interest for such a classic.

Yes, it was a hard decision to make....

But I've now had an offer of £500, so I think I may accept it....

Times change and sometimes we have to move on....

£500 is that all, there are two on ebay now and the cheapest is 4K. The P5B saloon seems to make a lot more than that.

My Coupe is in need of a restore though, hence the reason I am open to offers on it :(

I'll still miss the old girl though ....

Trouble is would it be restored, for £500 it may well end up being recycled for parts and that would be a shame.

How much? (or rather, how little…)
 

I too am pretty shocked at the fact that you've only been offered £500, which sounds waaaay too low, even if it's in need of restoration, and I would've though the Coupe would've been worth more than the saloon:Confused:. What degree of restoration does it need?
